Family Dog Manners
Wednesday evening foundation manners class for friendly family dogs of any age.
Class covers basic obedience behaviors like sit, down, stay, walk nicely, greet politely and come when called.
The classroom environment offers you the opportunity to practice these skills around dogs and handlers working on the same activities. The small class size ensures plenty of individualized coaching. Portions of this class may be held outside, weather and activity permitting.
Foundation Family Dog Manners is a reward-based class. Treats, toys, play and praise are generously utilized.
We recommend you bring your dog to class on a front-clip harness or a flat buckle collar or regular harness. Bring a six-foot leash, lots of tasty, healthy treats and a tug toy (optional), settle mat (optional).
Foundation Family Dog Manners is for friendly family dogs of any age. As long as your dog is old enough to have received his first rabies vaccination, he may register for this class. Our adult dog classes are intended for dogs who are able to be comfortable and focused around other dogs in a relatively small space. Although a little bit of barking at the beginning of class is acceptable, dogs who bark throughout class or at other dogs are not good candidates for this class, and should check out our Private Coaching Sessions, or our On Leash Reactivity Program, instead.
